yes, I have ulcerative colitis, since stopping prozac.....I have no pain at all.....still have small glares but no pain! Life is soooo much better......now to get the doctor to believe me if I ever have to go back onto antidepressants

I'm 2 months in. Headaches were a very frequent side effect for me the first few weeks as was sleeplessness and irritability. The headaches and irritability went away. I'm still dealing with the sleeplessness. I have found that cardio really helps in that arena.

.....would see if you can find a Doctor who knows what that drug is and if you can get that treatment. The Doctor "froze" the area before injecting. I felt a little pinching, but then it went numb. He actually used Lidocaine, Marcaine & an anti-inflammatory corticosteroid. The addition of the nerve "Killer" seems to have made it more permanent. I have 3 more injections ( one per month) and should be "done"

I had those shots in my foot. Injury + surgery + broken bone in my left foot from Police work. Pain relief only lasts about 3-4 days, then I was given (prescribed) Lidocane patches to put on my foot. Last week, the Doctor recommended adding to the "pain-killer" mix, a newly approved drug which kills the nerve next to my broken (healed crooked) metatarsal. I need 3 more for it to be "fixed".

I too had heartburn. Doc swore he didn't thimk it was from prozac. Get probotics 40mg and take it a few hours before your prozac. Laying down you may still feel some heat arise but it def puts it at a very tolerable level. Milk of magnesium works to treat the burn if you don't have probotics but its not nearly as effective.

Stopped GERD meds for a couple yrs. Went back on Prozac and the severe burning started again after several days. Have stopped Prozac ... burning stopped.
